this is classic cia job. the syrians are willing to fight but we need, again we need to arm the good guys and starve the bad guys and crack down hard right now on the saudis and qataris to get them to stop supplying these virulent violent jihadists because they are our enemies. we sucker for the saudis every time. now you've got, everybody is excited about the wrong stuff, megyn. everybody in the journalistic community is excited about scuds because they remember them from the gulf war. scuds are raty old weapons. if you fired from fox in midtown manhattan and tried to hit independence hall in philly you might hit camden. unless there is chemical or nuclear warhead on a scud it is useless. it is a terror weapon. what it tells me the assad regime no longer has many pilots it can trust not to defect to turkey or jordan and who are still willing to fly against the new air defense weapons the opposition had. so the meaning here isn't, oh, scuds are terrible. the meaning is, assad is getting increasingly desperate

you served in iran, going difficult shu, worked for the cia. your thoughts on whether assad would use chemical weapons against the syrian people and whether there is any way to stop it for the united states. >> first of all i don't think that the fact he mixed the chemicals is necessarily an indication he intend to use them. i think if he is cornered and he has no option left, it's possible that he will. the key is finding someone to give him asylum. so he knows there is a way out of this. ultimately if he has no place to go i think he will use chemical weapons in a desperate effort to save his regime. megyn: thrrts reports he's seeking asylum. this is unconfirmed. is this something we should be rooting for? >> absolutely. i think the best interests of erveg involved is to have him go in that direction. we cannot afford from the policy perspective to see military action result in the difficult any nution of the central government capability of syria. we have to retain the army and government. he should leave. the government should stay and that
